So as somebody who spent a lot of years in uniform, I got used to a load of bespoke words which only the military used. One such word was SCRAN which is used to describe going for a meal :
"I'm off to scarn?"
Well today I found out, that actually it isn't a verb, but rather an acronym:
SCRAN is a Navy word, it comes from the sailing ship days when sailors would augment their diet with sacks of dried fruit and nuts that came in bags marked: Sultanas Currants Raisins And Nuts, SCRAN. 😬— On This Day RN (@OnthisdayRN) October 26, 2019
